Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Daniel 11:33

_ _ they that understand — who know and keep the truth of God (Isaiah 11:2).

_ _ instruct many — in their duty to God and the law, not to apostatize.

_ _ yet they shall fall — as Eleazar (2 Maccabees 6:18, etc.). They shall be sorely persecuted, even to death (Hebrews 11:35, Hebrews 11:36, Hebrews 11:37; 2 Maccabees 6, 7). Their enemies took advantage of the Sabbath to slay them on the day when they would not fight. Tregelles thinks, from comparison with Daniel 11:35, it is the people who “fall,” not those of understanding. But Daniel 11:35 makes the latter “fall,” not an unmeaning repetition; in Daniel 11:33 they fall (die) by persecution; in Daniel 11:35 they fall (spiritually) for a time by their own weakness.

_ _ flame — in caves, whither they had retired to keep the Sabbath. Antiochus caused some to be roasted alive (2 Maccabees 7:3-5).

_ _ many days — rather, “certain days,” as in Daniel 8:27. Josephus [Antiquities, 12:7.6, 7] tells us the persecution lasted for three years (1 Maccabees 1:59; 4:54; 2 Maccabees 10:1-7).
